This One's For Erica : Death Note Vol. 2

So, I just finished reading all the currently available volumes of the 'Death Note' series, and I have to say although it certainly stretches credibility a tad, (Can you say suspension of disbelief? Good, now you'd better say it a lot....), it's quite a page-turner; so much so that I've been neglecting my other books in my hurry to finish all ten volumes.

Anyway the basic story is this: a high school kid (Yagami Raito) finds a magical notebook dropped by a Death God (whose name is in fact not Luke as I previously thought, but Ryuk...whichever, it's pronounced the same in Japanese) which allows the user to kill anyone they want by writing that person's name in it. He uses the notebook to take out murderers, rapists and other criminals, but soon the police catch on to the fact that someone is killing all these criminals and start searching for him with the help of the famous detective 'L'. It's pretty far-fetched as Raito keeps using new tactics to evade 'L', but suspenseful and definitely worth a read if you can get your hands on an English copy (currently on volume 4).

The funny thing is though, there's already a big English fandom, with, you guessed it : *SLASH*...
